Rowan Blanchard, Gigi Hadid, and Zendaya Prove You Can Be Warm and Cool
1/12Who knows whether they were excited about spring or just seriously over winter, but all of our favorite style stars were sporting bold statement coats this week. Kendall Jenner went for a fuzzy cropped style, Gigi Hadid wore a black and gold band jacket, and Charli XCX matched her emerald green bomber to her pants.
These It girls prove statement outerwear doesn't have to be covered in sequins, it just has to be cool, bright, and accessorized just right. Layer one over your coziest sweater or warm up by throwing one over your favorite spring dress — or just copy any (or all) of the week's very best looks.

WORE: A high-neck black mini dress, leopard coat, and coordinating leopard shoes.
WHERE: The Brit Awards After Party in London.
WHY: A leopard coat and leopard shoes? It can be done! Suki shows the secret to making mixing prints work is keeping a solid base — like an LBD — and keeping the rest of the look simple.

WORE: A quilted emerald green track suit and black boots.
WHERE: The Moschino Fall 2016 show in Milan.

WORE: A double-breasted plaid blazer, black trousers, and t-strap sandals.
WHERE: The I Love Coco Backstage Beauty Lounge in L.A.
WHY: Ashley's jacket may be subdued, but her expertly matched red lip brings out the pattern in an awesomely subtle way. Like we said, it doesn't have to have sequins to make a statement!

WORE: A long pale blue shirtdress, olive-grey boots, and a thick ivory coat.
WHERE: The "Something New" fan event in New York.
WHY: Swapping out your big black parka for a structured white coat is the easiest way to transition into spring. This must be one of our favorite casual Zendaya looks of all time.

WORE: An embellished white Coach coat and oxblood t-strap pumps.
WHERE: The Prom 2016 Party hosted by Coach in Paris.
WHY: We love how Riley styles her jacket like a dress. It's the perfect way to feel dressed up for a party before you even arrive.

WORE: Both models wore all-black ensembles and big circular shades. Kendall topped hers off with a black and white fuzzy coat, while Gigi chose a gold and black band jacket.
WHERE: Out and about during Paris Fashion Week.
WHY: Kendall and Gigi made waves when they swapped hairstyles for the Balmain show, and it takes two very amazing coats to distract from something like that.

WORE: An embellished multi-colored jacket, blue shorts, and black ankle booties.
WHERE: The I Love Coco Backstage Beauty Lounge in Hollywood.
WHY: This jacket has a lot going on. Rowan cleverly keeps the focus on it by keeping the rest of the look pared down and pulling her hair back into a chic chignon. Take note!

WORE: An emerald green silk jacket over a white blouse, white jeans, black boots, and a mini Chloe bag.
WHERE: Attending the Chloe show during Paris Fashion Week.
WHY: Monochromatic looks have been done so many times before. Kristina brings a fresh perspective to the trend with a bold contrasting coat — plus, it's probably keeping her pretty warm!
